Lin Josephson’s book, Making Everyday Choices: Helping Students in Grades 2-5 Practice the Art of Thinking is a practical guide to help students think about their own decision making.  With a short preface entitled Why?, Josephson immediately gets into the “how.”  With eight chapters of prompts and catalysts, teachers can create what Josephson calls a “thinking laboratory.”   These scenarios (or prompts) are relatable to elementary students and will undoubtedly push them to think more critically about how and why they make decisions. I am confident that you will not regret making the decision to read this book! -- Cathy Richardson, M.Ed, grade 2-3 teacher, Bernice A. Ray School, Hanover, NH Lin Josephson's latest work will be a wonderful handbook for new and seasoned teachers! When encouraging their students in the process of how to be independent thinkers, they will be provided with a method that is clear and accessible to all. Parents of school age children, too, are often looking for ways to support their child's education and they may look no further. -- Paula Levin, Director of Lower School, Far Brook School, Short Hills, New Jersey
